You are not alone. I have the fattest fingers and I can't wait to be able to wear my rings again. It's one of my goals!

Yep, I had to wear fake wedding rings for awhile. I just got mine resized from a snug 8 to a loose 6. :)

Yes, they got thinner for me. My ring size was a 10, now it is a 6.5. It is very nice not to have sausage fingers anymore! ;)

Yep... I lost weight and measurements in my fingers, toes, wrists, feet and toes. Had to buy new shoes because I lost assize or half a size

NICE - What about calves? I hope to fit into regular boots, not the wide width, because even those are tight.

On a side note, if anyone is looking for some cheaper rings, Amazon.com sells stainless steel rings for pretty cheap. One of the rings I wore is an eternity band that was similar to my real ring (except on my real ring, the stones don't go all the way around). It cost me one penny plus $4.99 shipping. Yep, five dollars - and stainless steel, so no nickel or having the metal change color. I ended up getting a solitaire from HSN.com that was similar to my own. My real engagement ring had a lower setting than most solitaires so I was happy to find one pretty similar for about $30. (But if you like a higher setting, Amazon has some stainless steel ones for around $10-$30.)

I did wear my real rings until one time I was drying them off with a paper towel at work and they slipped right off. Holy buckets!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
